Mio’s whole arc or chapter in Split Fiction shows many neat sites, but you can easily get lost. If you continue on, you’ll most likely miss a few stories, and the Big City Life mission’s side story is commonly missed. Here’s how to find it in Split Fiction.
Side Story Location in Big City Life Mission in Split Fiction

When you go through the chapter select and see “???” under the Big City Life mission, you should see the side story portal before the elevator part.
Once you start in Big City Life, both of you will be in the big pool with the water slides. Go forward until you reach the other side of the rooftop and grapple to the other building. Sit down on the bench and let Zoe and Mio have a chat. Proceed to grapple on one of the flying cars and go to the next building.
In this area, the side story portal should be “behind” if you are looking at the main building.

How to Get to the Side Story in Big City Life in Split Fiction

To get to the story, you’ll need Mio to stay inside one of the portable toilets. Have Zoe lift the toilet and throw it up. The toilet should break, leaving Mio unharmed in the other building.
Once Mio is on the other side, she needs to kick the ladder down so Zoe can jump and climb up to the building. The story takes you to one of Zoe’s fantasies, so prepare for a magical ride.
After finishing the side story, you’ll do the same trick and throw Mio while she is inside the portable toilet to the other building. Avoid the cars going through the middle and have Mio slash the garbage dumpster which spits out an object that Zoe can grapple to and reach the building.
